It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear Vera on December 30, 2017 at the age of 94. She was the high school sweetheart and beloved wife for 66 years of the late Bruce, loving mother to Lynn (Joan), Faye (Terry) and Shelley (Dan). Sister to Mildred and the late Frank. Will be dearly missed by her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, family & friends.

Vera was a longtime resident of New Toronto, growing up then raising her own family in the same house on 4th Street for more than 80 years. She loved gardening and a good hot cup of tea. Holiday dinners with family around the dining room table made for special memories. The food, the laughter, and the stories while cleaning up in that huge kitchen are things we are so thankful for and will remember forever.

Visitation will be held at Ridley Funeral Home, 3080 Lakeshore Blvd.W. on Thursday January 4th from 2-4pm and 7-9pm. Chapel service on Friday January 5th at 11am. Interment following. Mom believed in helping others; donations to your local charity in lieu of flowers would be appreciated.
